Grunge quote widget

What a grunge quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

How the grunge style shapes it

Grunge widgets look worn and handmade: faded black and charcoal, off-white typewriter text, strips of tape and one dark red accent. They suit goth, emo and alt home screens.

• Text: Use a typewriter font in bone white; capitals for labels.

How to make a grunge quote widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #1A1818 and the corner radius to 4.
2. Add a Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to Special Elite, the size to 17 and the color to #E9E4DA.
3. Press return where you want the line to break, and set the alignment to left.
4. Add a Shape, 4 points wide and as tall as the quote, in #B3212E, and place it to the left of the text as a rule.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 in #8E8780.
6. Add the grunge ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a strip of grey "tape" (a 64 × 16 rectangle at 55% opacity, rotated 12°) across the top right corner, and two faint scratch lines.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for grunge quote widgets

• Add one strip of "tape" across a corner.
• Use the red accent sparingly, once per widget.
• Keep quotes under about 12 words so the text can stay large.
• Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
• Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
• Do not use rounded, friendly fonts.
• Do not use bright colors other than the red.
